Read to me by Levar Burton.

I just lost interest in this over time. I picked it up for the r/fantasy bingo and the completionist in me kept making me pick it up every few months, but it was just giving me so much anxiety lately when I'd see it on my currently reading list for months now so I'm finally giving up.
